Isn't it about time for a release of the cause of death of Barnaby Jack, who was found dead on July 25? From August: "Silence On Hacker Barnaby Jack's Death Continues As Authorities, Friends Stonewall Press"

"Social networking pioneer who took on Facebook commits suicide at age 22"

"One of his big complaints — which he was pretty vocal about — was that
he knew a number of people in the media who he believed had been
publicly pro-Iraq War, even though they were privately skeptical or even
anti-war but who had, according to Mike, gone along with the pro-war
sentiment for the sake of their careers. That became a big sticking
point with him later on. I think it was really an influential experience
for him — an important negative example — in terms of how he decided to
approach the role of a journalist."

The brother ascribes the accident to a manic episode and excessive speed, except it appears Hastings wasn't driving all that fast.
